angularjs path change not working

I have a navbar area that lives in my index.html file, the rest of the content is in partials inside a ng-view. Within the navbar it displays the user's username and has a logout link. Clicking the link logs out the user and I'd like to redirect them back to the login page.

Here's my logout method in my navBar controller:

 $scope.logOut = function () {
    console.log('logging out');
    StackmobService.logout();
    $location.path('/logout');
    $scope.currentUser='';
};

My router is as follows:

$routeProvider.
    when('/register', {templateUrl: 'partials/register.html',   controller: 'LoginCtrl'}).
    when('/login', {templateUrl: 'partials/login.html',   controller: 'LoginCtrl'}).
    when('/home', {templateUrl: 'partials/home.html',   controller: 'LoginCtrl'}).
    when('/events', {templateUrl: 'partials/events.html',   controller: 'EventCtrl'}).
    when('/logout', {templateUrl: 'partials/register.html',   controller: 'LoginCtrl'}).
    otherwise({redirectTo: '/home'});

Here's the body piece of my index.html file:

<div class="container">

    <div class="navbar" ng-controller="NavBarCtrl">
        <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">spreevent</a>
        <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
            <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
        </ul>
        <p class="navbar-text pull-right" ng-show="currentUser.username">
            Welcome {{currentUser.username}}
            <a href="#"  ng-click="logOut()">Logout</a>
        </p>

    </div>

    <ng-view></ng-view>
</div>

Any idea why its not changing?

As mentioned in the comments above, use

<a href="" ng-click="logOut()">Logout</a>

rather than

<a href="#" ....
